Abstract

This work reports on theoretical studies of optical properties of Au nanorods with various aspect ratios, embedded in anodic alumina matrix. If the template is fabricated using particular conditions, nanostructures with 15-25 nm diameter range can be synthesized. These nanoparticles have potential applications in optical filters and sensors.
